Trossard scored 17 goals for Genk last season and Brighton signed him for £18 Mill.
He has scored over 60 goals in his career, Meyer has scored nowhere near that amount.

With the exception of Tomkins, the defence last night was awful,
Kelly, Dann,Riedwald,Kouyate, Milivojevic and Benteke were all hopeless on the night could not string a pass together and kept giving away possession which at times was embarrassing, Making us look like a league two side, McCarthy and Meyer certainly improved things when they came on. Why we continue with Benteke it is beyond me, I can't understand why some still think he is great!, he clearly is well out of his depth and should not have had his contract renewed because no one will want him, even as a free, with the contract he expects!

Not sure last night deserves the level of criticism on here.
We were missing 6 top players from our squad, including 3 regular defenders which is a lot for a club like ours.

We have 23 points from 17 games which means we only need around another 15 to stay up. We will look better when Townsend and Van Arnholt and Schlupp return.

PS. I thought Benteke did alright last night. He needs game time.

Roy and the team are making the best of a bad hand. This is paying off with our defensive record, one goal conceded now in four games. His hints about the transfer window are a recurring theme. Let's hope SP listens to him this time. The big calls will come if we sell Wilf and try to rebuild the team without him. Are we confident that SP and Roy will get it right in terms of reconstructing our attack with at least two purchases? They must be scared stiff of another blunder like Benteke....

The right place at the right time

Personally my main issue with last nights performance was a
total lack of passion. Yes we were short of certain players but that can't hide the fact that it felt at times like most of the team was going through the motions while Brighton were really up for it. A bit of Wilf magic saved the game for us, given the way the game went a point was a decent outcome.

I don't think that's quite fair on the defence. Kelly is a makeshift right back who is doing his very best, Riedewald was not only out of position but also injured, so we used a midfielder for 45 minutes. Dann hasn't really played much all season and has also had injuries. Given that, i'd say the defence performed heroically. Most of Brighton's shots were from long distance and barely worried Guiata (who was very good last night, again).

Hodgson admitted the tactics were wrong last night, and I think the intensity was wrong too... but there is a lot be positive about, especially how the team works for each other and never gives up.
